DNN HTML Site Map Module

Another step towards an SEO site, and providing a user-friendly site map, is to use Derek Trauger's DNN SiteMap Module.

It does a fine job. Just have a look here: http://www.ihbsonline.com/Site_Map.aspx.

When using the SiteMap module in conjunction with Ventrian Rewriter, name your Site Map page Site_Map.

Ventrian removes spaces, and Site Map becomes SiteMap.aspx, the same name as your properly formed XML sitemap script, that Google, Yahoo and MSN won't find...

Hi John

I need some help with Derek Trauger's DNN Sitemap module but cannot post a support question anywhere in his website. He doesnt provide a contact details and dnn.com wont allow me to post 3rd party support questions

My problem is I have some parent pages that have no content so they redirect to the first child page. These parent pages are not shown in the sitemap as parent.

If you have a solution for this please kindly help me out. Many thanks

Strange, if you go to my company website (ihbsonline.com), we have a News page that is also an empty parent page that serves as a placeholder for the child pages.

The properties for this page, found under Admin -> Page:

Permissions: All Users can read
Advanced -> Disabled is checked.
Link Type: None

I've done this on a couple of private pages also, with results that are expected: Clicking on the topmost parent page only reveals the children beneath.

If I've misunderstood your issue, please let me know.

HTH!

freeFTPD

Image by Micah68 via Flickr I've been using FileZilla FTP server for some time now and have been happy for the performance. Recently, we needed the ability to expose the FTP service to another client, and the documents that we'd be receiving would be arriving in an un-encrypted form, unlike our other clients. I decided I could simply enable FTPS , the SSL enabled FTP protocol and open a port to 990 on my ASA 5525 Security Appliance and NAT traffic to our server. Unfortunately I quickly found out that a passive FTPS server behind my firewall won't work without some specific configuration changes as discussed in this article . With all that fussing around, I decided to check out freeFTPd, a single deamon that offers both FTP and SFTP, not to be confused with FTPS, but the secure file transfer protocol that is common to the SSH ( secure shell ) protocol. It's fairly straight forward, but is a bit quirky and the documentation is non-existent. Follow some of my ti...

Traveling via Amtrak

Image
My wife, son and I recently took a trip to St Louis , to visit her Mom and Dad. We always have a good time, but don't look forward to the drive, as it takes 7 hours or so one way from 'lil old SE Wisconsin . Image via Wikipedia Thankfully, she looked into an older style of travel for our most recent trip to visit G'ma and G'pa; Amtrak . The cost is not much more than it is to drive. Fuel costs driving our mini-van is usually about $120, not to mention the fuel my son expends attempting to break out of his car seat ... The cost for our train ride was $188 with tax. Our son rode for 1/2 price since he is only 3. The trip took nearly the same amount of time, and we could ALL nap on the way down. We were able to bring a small cooler with lunch, play for a couple of hours in the dining car ( coloring books , puzzles, etc.) The only complaint I will lodge is customer service is a bit lacking. Our initial inquiries indicated we had the ability to check a bag, but foun...

DotNetNuke SEO

I've been reading quite a bit lately on improving SEO for our DotNetNuke website , IHBSOnline.com and quickly realized it just isn't enough to throw up a website, add a listing in a couple of search engines and wait for the masses. First off, the DnnFriendlyUrlProvider, while writing friendlier URL's than older versions of DNN, could be better. This is why you need the iFinity FriendlyURL provider. It is free, but keep in mind it is really designed for a single domain site, and presents other issues with some other 3rd party modules. If you fall into that category, I'd suggest you purchase the full version, as it adds additional functionality you'll need and want. Image by AFP/Getty Images via Daylife I've learned that Google and possibly other search engines actually penalize you if you create duplicate content. The duplicate content issue could easily arise if you have a host that responds to both http://mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com. Yo...
